I was quite excited about the rumour of the new DA 135-380mm F4-5.6, but thinking about it now the new 1.4x converter+DA* 60-250mm= 84-350mm F5.6 sounds OK.
I'm sure the converter will be cheaper than a new 135-380mm lens with the advantages of using on my DA* 300mm for a 420mm F5.6 :-)

Good thinking I guess, but if you don't own any DA* lens then the 135-380mm would be a great lesn to start with I guess.

My thoughts exactly! I can't wait to see some tests of the DA 135-380mm F4-5.6 especially at the long end combined with the new TC. It's going to be a bit slow at the long end with the TC attached but who knows....
